Blizzard is being DDoS'd !

[Xeones]

I'd like to get a source on that, because it seems like a big no.

Anyhow, last thing Blizzard needs at this point after the big sub drop.

They were targeting the President of Sony America.

i really hope that whatever prison these people go to, there's enough prison gang members to eventually stab them all to death.

[Ham on Rye]

Apparently these people also made a bomb threat against a US airliner. Let's just say, that this has gone beyond messing with games (even if they are just trolling and not actually doing it) and into NSA, CIA, black helicopters, and people disappearing territory. They should expect to be in prison for a LONG time.

I'd like to see them caught first. Because there's been a lot more DDOS's than there has been captured DDOS'ers

Bleah, this again.

Whoa! How do these websites log DDOS traffic? I've never been malicious enough to get involved in DDOS.

Wow. What a bunch of dolts.

Does canada have a system where a minor can be tried as an adult?

It's true. On their twitter. They called a bomb threat in on the plane that the Sony president was on.

Yes but it depends on the crime, something like this probably not.

[Mormolyce]

Well, they are making an entire companies servers collapse lol.

DDoS attacks aren't exactly rocket science lol.

They are not at their full power yet. Their words.

Oooh, spooky.

[Icathian]

Honestly, when people are young I don't believe in putting them in prison for a long time, specially when they have their whole life ahead of them and plenty of chances to realize wtf they are doing.

But that's when a kid robs a store, or attacks someone. Now international web attacks? Bomb threats?

This guy deserves to be arrested for a good 10 years. He's probably a spoiled kid with parents that give and do everything he wants, jail will straighten him up.

[Mormolyce]

Wow they admitted it, but the DDOS got even stronger tonight. Even the wow website is down.

Shrug, DDoS happen all the time, no evidence it was the same group of clowns.

10 years for making a website go offline? LOL.

They also diverted a plane by calling in a bomb threat and linking the 9/11 attack. They deserve worse honestly.

Currently a 44 minute que for the bnet app. Here we go again. Right as I was going to do some garrison testing.

[Lumineus]

No, 10 years for repeatedly crippling an Internet backbone through malicious use of communications software. But no. After the bomb threat, he will probably be buried underneath Guantanmo for the rest of his natural life.

Every attack they make is an individual felony and their little bomb stunt just got the FBI involved and has mandatory jail time.

[Toosdey]

I don't understand why ddosing company servers isn't a crime.

Did you forget how to get to your wow system files and use wow.exe to get the game up.

[ShasVa]

I've been getting queued-up as well. Before that, I'd get stuck at various loading screens, like when I went to go do Molten Offensive dailies (the portal from Hyjal to the daily area). FYI, I'm doing those for the mount (I'm close-ish to 150).

Hope they get it fixed up soon. The weekly-reset is soon and I could use a Flex-grade chest token on my Hunter.

[Xag]

So not sure how interested people are in this but if you bypass the launcher and go to your World of Warcraft folder and click WoW.exe or the 64bit one, you can get in the game. It seems that battle.net is the problem

Actually it is. But they have to find them first.

They're usually people over in foreign countries (usually a ME country, Russia, or China). But I've been seeing more and more punks from the US and EU doing it these days.
